Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
VIT-2763 dose dependently reduces the fluorescence polarization signal, indicating that VIT-2763 displaces TMR-hepcidin from ferroportin (IC50 of 24 ± 13 nM)[1].
VIT-2763 induces BLA reporter gene activity with an average EC50 of 140 ± 50 nM, as a consequence of increasing intracellular iron concentrations caused by blocked iron export in HEK293 cells[1].
VIT-2763 (100 nM) triggers ubiquitination and subsequent internalization and degradation of ferroportin[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Concentration:100 nM.
-
Incubation Time:10, 20, 40, 60, or 120 minutes.

In Vivo
VIT-2763 did not change the total liver iron[1].
VIT-2763 (30, 100 mg/kg, orally twice daily for 36 days) significantly corrects anemia and improved RBC parameters in Hbbth3/+ mice. VIT-2763 decreases the percentage of ROS-positive RBCs in Hbbth3/+ mice from 67% to 30%[1].
VIT-2763 decreases apoptosis and extends the life span of RBCs in Hbbth3/+ mice[1].

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
The phytochemical arbutin exerts potent anti-Toxoplasma effects through activation of cell-autonomous defense mechanisms while attenuating inflammation. [Abstract]2025 Dec 11;19(12):e0013815. PMID: 41379884
VIT-2763 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: PLoS Negl Trop Dis. 2025 Dec 11;19(12):e0013815. [Abstract]
The levels of LIP were found to increase after VIT-2763 (20 μM, 2 h) treatment, and the relative intracellular parasite numbers increased correspondingly, suggesting that iron restriction is a crucial defense mechanism against Tg RH infection in both immune and non-immune cells.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
